Shreveport Police patrol officers assigned to Shreveport’s Cedar Grove Neighborhood have a man in custody Tuesday after a neighborhood patrol leads to the seizure of drugs and a stolen weapon.

Just after 10 a.m., Shreveport Police patrol officers observed a man smoking marijuana in front of a residence in the 500 block of West 65th Street. Officers attempted to contact the suspect, Kelvin Roberson, 34, and he fled into the residence. Officers set a perimeter and Richardson exited the home and surrendered without incident. Officers searched the residence and seized a stolen .40 caliber handgun, 103 grams of marijuana, 50 MDMA tablets, 2 digital scales, and $1,200 in cash.

Roberson was booked into the Shreveport city jail on one count each of illegally possessing a stolen firearm, possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute MDMA, and trigger lock.
